2009 Chardonnay ~ Estate, Russian River Valley 750ml

Burgundian in style, this Chardonnay is distinctive, reflecting the Russian River Appellation where it’s grown. Warm days and cool nights help develop good acid; slow barrel fermentation in neutral French oak along with weekly lees stirring creates a wonderful mouthfeel while also preserving the fruity characteristics of this wine. Allowed to naturally go through maloactic fermentation, creating a perfect balance of acid and fruit with vanilla on the nose followed by some minerality and an abundance of pears and apples on the finish; this wine is unfiltered. This wine was made to compliment food with very little oak influence allowing for a rich and intense fruit forward wine.

 

2009 Viognier ~ Russian River Valley 750ml

On the nose you’ll smell apricots and passion fruit with notes of spice. On the palate, you’ll find good acid, balanced by citrus, apricots and nutmeg.

 

2009 Sauvignon Blanc ~ Dry Creek Valley 750ml

Made in a style reminiscent of Sancerre.  On the nose, you’ll discover notes of grass and orange blossoms. On the pallet, flavors of grapefruit, grass and just a hint of oak that’s accentuated by a balanced tartness.

Vendor Details

Inspiration Vineyards and Winery

Founded:
2002
Owners:
Barbara & Jon Phillips
Location:
Sonoma County, CA
Barbara and I moved to Sonoma County 10 years ago because of our passion for great wine.  After teaching about wine for 15 years, I was driven to follow my heart and become a wine maker.  All of our friends kept telling us we were an Inspiration because we followed our dreams.  Through hard work and determination, I was able to leave my fulltime corporate life three years ago and focus on making fantastic, balanced, food-friendly wines and offer them at a reasonable price.
 
Today, our winery produces approximately 1500 cases of wine annually; our average lot sizes are around 200 cases and can be as small at 20 cases, like our 100 year old “front yard” Zinfandel.
